Performance Testing Certifications

The Purpose

The purpose of this repo is to give an idea about the performance testing certifications, not to impose.


Points to remember

Learning multiple tools and getting certified will help you understand why one tool is not suited for some cases than the other. Earning certification doesn't mean that you know everything, please remember learning is an endless journey, never stop.

Happy Journey!
